Members of the media have been camping outside the gates of the Istana Negara from as early as 7.30am following reports that Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob will be meeting the Yang di-Pertuan Agong this afternoon.

Although it is not certain whether Ismail Sabri will seek permission to dissolve Parliament from the Agong, he is scheduled to appear at the Istana at 4pm as part of his routine weekly audience with the king.

A source from Putrajaya also told Malaysiakini that the premier is expected to seek an audience with the Agong at 4.30pm today.
